Sakuya

Description
Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou 6 Embodyment of the Scarlet Devil is finally in Rivals!

After 20+ hours of work, I finally got my favorite Touhou character in and working!

She is a character who is very fast and has good framedata, However her moves don't do very much percent in return. Similar to Sheik in a way.

Moveset:

UP Special: Teleport, can be canceled with any special
Neutral Special: Knife throw, somewhat slow, just a standard projectile
Down Special: Stun Knife, A second knife throw with less lag, doesn't do that much percent but stuns if on the ground. Sakuya also drops a ~Luna Dial~ which is a kill move if you can hit it
Side Special: Sakuya's worst move. It was supposed to be similar to Ike Quickdraw but it doesn't have the utility. Has a long startup and end lag but it kills.

I don't own the rights to Sakuya or the sprites those belong to ZUN. The voice line comes from the dub of the Fantasy Kaleidoscope anime which you should check out!

####This character is busted and will remain busted because she's fun, I have rebalanced her as a seprate character on the workshop here https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1874888096 so download that one if you want a more fair experience ####

Reimu next!

UPDATES: Fixed her hitboxes because they were jankey, fixed down b, changed up b to teleport, changed back air so now you throw knives bc she needed more. Also side b is cooler, Unpatched her up B because of Alpharad, can no longer infinite up b

i dont know why this character has 4 stars, seems like a 5 star character by how fun she is to play as, and not being so overpowered, i guess her up special is bull shit; as she launches herself hundred of meters in the sky, but besides that bs, really fun character to play as (not against ;__;)

ROAD ROLLER! Lol, find it very fitting how your profile pic is Dio from Jojo. Especially when Sakuya had her own alt costume in the fighting game that had Dio's color palette as well.

In general, this was a really fun Touhou mod to play around with, notably with chucking a bunch of knives at the opponent (that was my favorite part lol). Her moves come out quite quick, which makes combo-ing and juggling the opponent quite fun (especially when finishing off with her downwards spike).

Dang, you really did a good job on Sakuya here. She's super fun to not only play as, but to play against as well. And I especially lover how you incorporate projectiles into her moveset, such as how she throws a knife with her back air or how she drops her pocket watch with her Side Special.

Plus, the sheer variety of knives in her moveset is really nice. There's normal blue knives (special), slower-but-stronger green knives (down special), a group of 3 red knives (side special).

Overall, it's always nice to see a Touhou character get representation in Rivals of Aether. And your character really stands out in a way that I feel like a lot of people can get a good introduction into the series by how fun she is to play as.
